I believe in that, man.” Discipline has rewarded Carvin with a playing style of precision chops fueled by spontaneity and a bold, earthy sound. Outspoken and provoca- tive, Michael speaks with sudden shifts between severity and sentimentality, elation and gravity. He cuts a strong presence, as an impassioned man who’s forged his own path through great self-determination. And he’d love to help you do it too. The master’s colorful sermons of rhythm are peppered with memorable catchphrases and pearls of wisdom. One saying in particular stands as his defining motto. “‘Each one, teach one’ is something I’ve always believed in,” Carvin says. “In the African tradition we have storytellers. There’s a man in the tribe that passes on knowledge. And there’s always one young man that the master recognizes will be the next sto- ryteller. He will take that young man and teach him everything that he knows about the history of the tribe. know what they want,” he says, allow- chinks in confidence. “I say, ‘Play That’s ‘Each one, teach one.’ As a drum ing a long pause. “I can’t teach you how something that you like,’” Michael teacher, I am a ‘master.’ If I have to play drums.

  • ELEVATION Songs from Afar
    ELEVATION Songs from Afar Transylvanian expat pianist & composer Lucian Ban and ELEVATION celebrate their 2 n d album for Sunnyside records - Songs from Afar . Released in 2016 the album immediately garnered rave reviews and honors – DOWNBEAT BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR , a 5* review in DB march 2016 issue, ALL ABOUT JAZZ calls it “a triumph of emotional and musical communication” and New York City Jazz Record talks of an “Inspiring and touching journey, that seamlessly blends the traditions of jazz and folk songs”. ”Alluring timelessness . a strong life-force that seems to flow through this music . like many of the great masters, pianist Lucian Ban makes personal art that feels universal” 5* STARS! “Songs From Afar is a triumph of emotional and musical communication, and is not to be missed” Streams of influence from the past and cultural identities sometimes merge with one’s quest for forms of expression. Songs From Afar represents two traditions, two musical worlds, and many musical elements coming together to fashion a unique identity that truly spans continents and styles. "Songs from afar is very personal for me because the album is intimately tied to my Romanian cultural heritage and to the jazz influences that help me find out more about where I come from – and where I’m going. It's not only the ancient Transylvanian folk songs that we approach in this recording, it's also how the other pieces and improvisations reflect the constant search for musical meaning" notes Transylvanian expat pianist and composer Lucian Ban talking about his 2 n d album with Elevation quartet in his 3 r d appearance for Sunnyside.

  • 2008 OAH Annual Meeting • New York 1
    Welcome ear colleagues in history, welcome to the one-hundred-fi rst annual meeting of the Organiza- tion of American Historians in New York. Last year we met in our founding site of Minneap- Dolis-St. Paul, before that in the national capital of Washington, DC. On the present occasion wew meet in the world’s media capital, but in a very special way: this is a bridge-and-tunnel aff air, not limitedli to just the island of Manhattan. Bridges and tunnels connect the island to the larger metropolitan region. For a long time, the peoplep in Manhattan looked down on people from New Jersey and the “outer boroughs”— Brooklyn, theth Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island—who came to the island via those bridges and tunnels. Bridge- and-tunnela people were supposed to lack the sophistication and style of Manhattan people. Bridge- and-tunnela people also did the work: hard work, essential work, beautifully creative work. You will sees this work in sessions and tours extending beyond midtown Manhattan. Be sure not to miss, for example,e “From Mambo to Hip-Hop: Th e South Bronx Latin Music Tour” and the bus tour to my own Photo by Steve Miller Steve by Photo cityc of Newark, New Jersey. Not that this meeting is bridge-and-tunnel only. Th anks to the excellent, hard working program committee, chaired by Debo- rah Gray White, and the local arrangements committee, chaired by Mark Naison and Irma Watkins-Owens, you can chose from an abundance of off erings in and on historic Manhattan: in Harlem, the Cooper Union, Chinatown, the Center for Jewish History, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the New-York Historical Society, the American Folk Art Museum, and many other sites of great interest.
